So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.

“If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 4 – James 4:1-2″]
What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 5 – Matt 5:38-39″]
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 6 – Matt 5:43-45″]
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 7 – Matt 5:46-48″]
If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 8 – Colossians 3:12-14″]
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 9 – Colossians 3:15-16″]
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 10 – 1 Peter 5:5″]
In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
“God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble.”
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 11 – 1 Peter 5:6″]
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 12 – Matt 23:12″]
For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 13 – Psalm 25:9″]
He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 14 – 1 Corinthians 16:13-14″]
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 15 – 1 John 4:11-12″]
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 16 – 1 John 4:19-21″]
We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 17 – Romans 12:9-10″]
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 18 – Romans 12:14-16″]
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 19 – Ephesians 4:32″]
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 20 – 1 Peter 3:8-9″]
Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 21 – Galatians 6:2″]
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 22 – Philippians 2:1-2″]
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 23 – Colossians 3:20-21″]
Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 24 – Ephesians 5:21″]
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 25 – Philippians 2:3-4″]
3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 26 – Ephesians 5:25-27″]
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 27 – Philippians 2:5-8″]
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 28 – Ephesians 5:31-33″]
“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 29 – Ephesians 6:1-3″]
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—“so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 30 – Ephesians 6:4″]
Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
[/learn_more][learn_more caption=”October 31 – Luke 1:32-33″]
He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”
